There's trouble in paradise in this ooey, gooey tale of Mediterranean horrors that leaves our hosts divided. Plus, sphincter mouths. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird Series! This season, we're exploring our second book in the series ‘Crawling Horror: Creeping Tales of the Insect Weird.’ In this episode, our featured tale is: 'Caterpillars' by E.F. Benson.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2001, dir. William Eubank); drinking Cardinal Spirits Straight Rye.
Damien is reading Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry; drinking a negroni (equal parts gin, vermouth rosso, and campari).
Ryan is reading Old Style Tales website and book series by M. Grant Kellermeyer; drinking Blair Athol 12.
If you liked this week’s story, check out Slither (2006, dir. James Gunn).
Up next: ‘After Three Thousand Years' by Jane G. Austin.
